You are exactly right.

They were discussing his passing around midday on NFL radio yesterday when the comment was made that the world would be a much different place today had he not developed Parkinsons.

He was a dominating figure and presence, who was not afraid to be outspoken on matters of principle or social justice.  Alas, that voice was brought to a whisper in the 80's with the disease, and went silent altogether from the 90s until the present.

I can assure you that he would have been outspoken on many of the issues of the past three decades and made the world a better place as a result of his voice and intervention.
